To start the Siege of Fan Castle, travel to Jing Providence and talk to Sun Ce and Sun Quan. They will praise you for your prowess in the previous battles — and once the dialogues end — the mission will begin.

To complete this mission, you will have to provide support to Sun Clan members (Wu) as they try to break into the Fan Castle and defeat the enemy commander — Huang Zu. If you fail to siege the castle in time, lose morale, or your allies are defeated — the mission will be marked as failed.

Once you have arrived at the center and joined your allies, bring down the archer towers. Archers on these towers can perform volleys that can quickly eliminate chunks of your forces. Prioritize bringing each of these towers down.

After clearing the field, Sun Jian’s forces will bring out the battering rams. You can either defend it from enemy officers or enter Fan Castle by climbing the ladders set up by Sun Ce on the left side of the wall. Once inside, clear the way to the main gate and open it to let your allies in.

Defeat Huang Zu

Once inside, defeat the remaining enemy forces and the officer to force out Huang Zu. This boss wields Twin Pikes, so beware of his range and damage potential. He can also perform dash attacks that can put big dents on your health bar if you are not careful enough. Dodge his dashes and focus on dealing damage to wear him down.

Once Huang Zu falls, defeat his remaining forces. Afterward, the Siege of Fan Castle mission in Dynasty Warriors Origins will conclude.
